i read that he thought he would have to jump clear, rather than take the chance of being on the horse should he try to leap the rail. i also read after the race that he said he'd never ride that blankety blank horse again...of course, he rode him again!

they have a show on rfdtv that once had an episode with racehorses from days gone by. they showed video of the horses and some of their races-ack ack being one of them. i hadn't realized til that show that ack ack had been owned later in his career by a big hollywood celeb. they also showed round table, swaps, silky sullivan.... a second trivia question-who was ack ack's star owner?
